Hi all, I am using Airtables to set up my cost database for my cafe.

For each dish, the items can come from 2 sources. 1 -  A raw material table - i.e. chicken, eggs, which i have already listed it's unit cost. 2 - From a Prep material - i.e. like pasta sauce which we make in house. This table, I've already calculated the cost per portion for each item (making reference to items in table 1) 

Now to build a recipe, I need to pick items from both table 1 & table 2.   I am not sure if this is possible to have a selection field that reads from 2 table.  or I need another way around it?

 

Thanks!

Hello @cyee 

You can connect 2 linked fields on the Recipe table and use(select) raw material (Ingredients) and Prep material for that same recipe.

Then use Lookup/rollup and Formulas to calculate and show different type of data.

Also see these reference on Airtable Universe. https://www.airtable.com/universe/search?q=recipe

Based on my checking these are bit matched with your details.

Many thanks Dilipborad!  Will review the links and have a go at it again 🙂
